The 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship returns to action this weekend from Spring Creek MX Park in Millville this weekend following a week break, scheduled to be televised live on SPEED in Australia.

Spring Creek will be televised live in Australia on Sunday morning at 7.00am AEST, featuring both second motos of the 450 and 250 classes. Check your local guide for confirmation.

The seventh round of the season will serve as the next chapter of the ongoing battle for the coveted national title at stake in all three classes of competition – the 450 Class, 250 Class and WMX Class.

Coming off his fourth victory of the season at the previous stop from RedBud, TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing’s Chad Reed leads the way in the 450 Class.

Reed’s four wins through six rounds has come on the heels of impressive consistency throughout the first half of the season. He enters Millville with a 16-point advantage over his championship rivals, and will seek add to that lead by securing a fifth overall victory.

Behind him, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto and Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey look to close the gap, and add to their respective win totals.

Villopoto’s day at RedBud had the potential to hurt him in the 450 Class standings. However, after an early crash in the first moto, Villopoto was able to fight his way into ninth. He then proceeded to finish the event off with a dominating win in the final moto.

His determined effort gave him his sixth overall podium in as many rounds this season, and he still sits within striking distance of Reed coming into Spring Creek.

Another strong 2-2 effort by Dungey at RedBud left him just one point shy of the overall win. Despite that, the reigning series champion was able to gain valuable ground on Villopoto for second in the standings, and now heads to his home track this weekend.

Since 2008, Dungey has not lost at Spring Creek, and will look for his fourth victory at the track on Saturday.

In the 250 Class, the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki trio of Dean Wilson, the current class points leader, Blake Baggett and Tyla Rattray, will aim to keep the team’s undefeated streak intact.

Meanwhile, the WMX Class showdown between American Honda’s Ashley Fiolek and DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha’s Jessica Patterson will continue to unfold.
